Create your own Network.

In real life, I have Satellite internet which is kind of lame on a network so I am going to use DSL as my internet type. Iam am going to set up my network to supply internet access to two computers and one XBOX 360. One computer and the XBOX are in one room and the other computer is in another room 20ft away. I am going to purchase the fallowing network items,…

-1 Belkin wireless router ($30)

-1 5 foot ethernet cable ($3)

-1 30 foot ethernet cable ($12)

-1 LINKSYS USB wireless network adapter ($20)

The internet modem and router are located in the room with the Xbox 360 and computer. I will connect the wireless router directly to the modem. From the modem, I will connect the computer and the Xbox 360 via ethernet cable and the other computer via wireless. I will protect it with a WEP key. Each computer has its own printer soI do not need to share a printer over the network. That is pretty much it.
